January 2026 OOTM | Styled Outfits

Some super fun pieces for this months OOTM - 3 outfits across the 2 windows in very different styles, I really think there's something for everyone here. I ended up buying 6 pieces, and I'm still a little tempted by the Olive Green Pumps, so I might still get those^ Today I've styled up 4 of the pieces. First up the Chanel Silver Shield Sunglasses and Crystal Fall Earrings, two classic silver-based accessories that will work well in so many different ways. For some reason I was thinking of checks when I put these pieces on, and was so happy to style up these fun trousers, I think the checks and the red look fabulous with the silver of the two pieces plus the extra accessories added. This red Gucci sweater was such a fun addition, I think it really rounded out the other pieces nicely =) Next up is the Blue Sleeveless Turtleneck Top which I was a little on the fence about but decided to give a try, I think I might still be on the fence but I do think this is a cute look. I wish I had some perfect periwinkle pieces to style with it, but this skirt was about the best I could do and I do think it works nicely, plus with the range of colours in it, it gives good options for other additions. Overall stuck with a light palette and I think the blue pops really well so I think this top can stick around in my closet. And the final piece, the Patterned Blue Leather Handbag which I think is just fabulous and it reminds me of an old Hotbuys piece that was a dark toned way oversized bag, and I just think it's such a fun style and design. I did um and ah over this look quite a bit because I had a few navy options, and actually this was the last try and I think I really like this as a navy and black mix. Both colours stand out and fit together well, and the bag really does stand out nicely, especially with the print and the sheen, so overall I'm really loving this one. Even though this bag is quite a specific style I do think it's got a level of versatility to it and I do look forward to wearing it again =D

Stardoll OOTM 2025 | Styled Outfits

A little resolution for 2026 - style the OOTM pieces as they come out! For 2025 I decided I'd just do one big post on the years releases at the end of the year, however I bought sooooo many pieces this year, we had some fantastic releases that I've totally been sat on. Now it's time to style them up - perhaps not all 37 items that I bought, but I'll make a good attempt to get through a lot of those:

First up the Grey Cashmere Sweater and Balmain Acrylic Bag, now for sure this sweater isn't something super out there or new in style or design but it's a classic and has a great fit on the doll. Grey is a colour I don't wear as much now, I just find it one of those colours a little harder to style but I did enjoy putting this look together and I think it's super cute! The collar really breaks up the colour and I love the fit of these loose trousers with the tighter style of the sweater. Accessorising was easy and I think the bag stands out nicely against the white, and added some fun sparkly heels and headband to complete the look, love this for me^ Next are a lot of pieces all in one, almost the whole look is from OOTM: the YSL Cateye Glasses, Double Shirt, Ys Chopped Square Bag and Marie Antoinette Pumps! These sunglasses are fantastic, beautiful style and I know they'll be a perfect addition to my collection. The shirt was super easy to style, with the white base and the black buttons, picking out matching pieces was quick, with the other OOTM items in front of me, lots of them work well with this piece. The shoulder bag design is fun to work with and I look forward to wearing it again, it might be a little restrictive on the size of the sleeve but I think it's a fun change to a handheld or crossbody piece. For the third look some of our more recent pieces, the Green Suede Purse and Green Dior Boots and I just love these items! Both are super stand out in our Plaza offerings and I really don't have anything hugely comparable to them, love the colour, design and fit on the doll of them. With the Dior of the boots I was keen to choose Dior in the rest of the outfit and I think I succeeded^ The layering of the yellow in the skirts is super fun with the green, not an exact colour match but I think it makes those accessories pop. Kept it simple on the top half and it really lets those accessories be highlighted.

Onto the second set and first here are the Jadior Chain Stack and Saint Laurent Bag, have to say I love the design of this bag so much, the slouched style just looks amazing. With the gold chain handle it was easy to also include one of the gold necklaces from the collection. I have just stuck with gold in the accessories but did try to get more gold in the look - I really need a fabulous pair of gold trousers! Anyway, this blouse with the specks of gold is a good option and keeps it classy. Next are the Layered Multi Chain, Posed Blazer and Brown Leather Purse together. I'm not so much into the posed pieces, but I wanted to give this one a go because I really liked the brown colour and the minimal style to the piece. With the brown gloves, I also knew I'd be able to style it as I have a lot of brown accessories. This look came together quickly and I did like styling the pose. All the additions are super simple and fitting with the style of the jacket, I really love this combination a lot. I'm especially loving this bag, to be honest I'd forgotten that I'd bought it and I haven't really seen it style but I think it looks fantastic, for sure will be wearing again this season! And thirdly here we have a pop of colour with the Gucci Red Glasses, Burgundy Gucci Bag and Versace Dark Red Platforms - we all know I can't resist red XD These pieces are super cute, and I know I'm not the biggest platform fan, but these looked great in the red and I wanted to give them a try. I knew I wanted to keep these accessories the focus so I didn't add any more red to the look, the navy is such a complementary colour and it really does it's job to let that red shine. This simple suit is perfect for a look idea like that^

And the final set of stylings, super contrasting to each other! First sparkly with the Bejeweled Tights and Versace Pink Slingbacks which are such a cute pairing, and honestly I had so many dresses out that looked great with these. In the end I decided to go all in with the glitter, this dress has a great colour-fit with the shoes and I have the perfect sparkly bag to add to it as well. Super simple but super fun! And last but not least, more on the cosy Winter casual vibes, the Vibskov Brown Shades, Embroidered Leather Jacket and Brown Prada Boots, such a fun look to put together. With the blue floral detail on the shoulder of the jacket my first thought was denim, so I was keen to wear jeans with it and love the tone of this pair with the jacket, think they're perfect! Balanced it out with brown accessories and I think these pieces all work really well with the clothing, honestly these boots in particular are a dream, beautiful design and they look fantastic on, I can tell I'll wear them a lot =D

Stardoll OOTM 2024 | Styled Outfits

I hadn't thought I'd bought much from the 2024 OOTM releases, until I laid all the pieces out (I had collected them in a room^) and went 'WOW', so many great pieces here that I hadn't thought about in months, it was like going shopping for new things but without spending any money! So now I'm finally getting around to styling some items - there are a lot more and I'm sure many will be featured in upcoming outfits. First up the White Flower Embroidered Miniskirt, Balenciaga Hourglass Mirror Handbag and Versace Medusa Silver Platforms - I just thought these pieces worked together so nicely, I really love this matte silver style of accessories with white. I wanted to add more silver to the look with a top or jacket, but nothing I had quite fitted what I was imagining, so I stuck with white and I think it works out quite nicely, then added silver in the jewellery. I really like the inclusion of this necklace, the black and silver combined really matches it well with the accessories and also the black logo on the skirt. Next are the Lacoste Bordeaux Coat, Bottega Brown Sunglasses, Patent Leather Gucci Bag and Patent Leather Bordeaux Boots. With these pieces I tried a lot of different combinations of them with other OOTM items, lots of different looks work well for them! But I really liked this one, it just yells Winter glamour to me and I really really love it^ I really didn't add much to this styling, wearing a gold skirt as a dress, these pleats really add all the detail that is needed. The gold jewellery completes the look nicely, a perfect match against the gold heels of the boots and hardwear of the bag, love this styling a lot! And finally, the Cult Gaia Pants, Gold Flower Earrings and Louboutin Gingko Heels in a bit more of a Spring look. These jeans look very similar to a previous pair we've had, but the detail was a purple colour, these make a good neutral alternative and I found them easy to style, this outfit really didn't need a lot added. This straw bag is a perfect colour match for the print on the trousers and also the Summery style of the heels, I think it's the perfect complement for all of these items =)

OOTM January 2024 | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

Apologies for the lateness of this post - but the January OOTM 2024 was a pretty popular release. I didn't so much like a lot of the pieces, but you guys did so there are plenty of features to share! One of the most popular pieces was the Lips Denim Corset, so many people styled this up and it does seem to have been pretty versatile piece. So firstly a look from the ever-cool bianca.vos, the piece really is framed well in this outfit from the chosen hairstyle draping at one side and the coat being an off the shoulder style. The denim design of the top is paired with more denim in these jeans, the two work well with the blue striped detail at the bottom of the jeans. I like the mix of denim with the beige tones and then the look has been glammed with the silver jewellery and these fab pointed-toe heels^

Next up with this piece is darlinglovato - and bringing a whole different vibe to the piece, it's great! The piece layers nicely, and the blues work so well with the various shades of brown in the look, I'm so pleasantly surprised with how well these leather trousers work with the top. The polo layered underneath really pops but also draws the eyes to the lips design, such a fun touch to a smart styling!

Next we have sarah_1980, who additionally wears the Long Buttoned Denim Skirt and the Shop Stop Sign Shoulder Bag with the piece. The clothing of course works well as they are in the same window, but the accessories are great additions to round off the look. I really love the red top underneath, the colour makes the outfit pop and I think red is a great complement to the different denim washes in the styling. The black accessories are great together and balance out really well =)

And lastly looking at a different piece, notnoworlater styles up the Knitted Cropped Top - which is one of the pieces I had thought about buying but in the end didn't, maybe I'm regretting it now because this outfit is beautiful! The look is a great neutral one. The top layers well over a white shirt, and this one is fabulous with those sleeves. Love the tweed culottes a lot, perfect fit for the top. And the glam accessories are great final touches to the outfit =)

I did pick up one piece from this months collection, the Crystals Hair Band which I think is a super sweet accessory and actually gives me the first opportunity to style up a headband, it's not an accessory I would often think of and there aren't a lot of options in the Plaza for them. I really like the feminine style of this one, but I do have not the best hairstyle choice on with this one because the band really blends with my hair colour - so a darker colour next time for sure! I knew I wanted to go on a more neutral direction and I'm super pleased with the outcome. This ombre brown and beige dress is a perfect piece for it, and I've sized it down to layer it under this beige coat. I kept the rest of the accessories very simple fitting with the other colours of the look. I'm definitely excited to trying this piece out again!

OOTM Autumn/Winter 2023 | Styled Outfits

Every month over the Autumn and Winter we've still been having releases of 'Outfit Of The Month' - I found these started to get a bit same-y so I didn't really have much to post about at the time, but I've gathered up the accessory pieces I did pick up and styled them together. First up is the Velvet Crystal Heart Bag which is such a sweet pink and burgundy heart bag with gold and pearl details, a lot of my favourites in one! For me this was super easy to style, I have a lot of burgundy and pink pieces to choose from, in particular I really loved this pink coat because it's got detailed gold buttons that work really nicely with the details on the bag. It's such a cute piece that I can see it getting a lot of wear, especially for Valentine's Day looks. Next is the new-for-December Dior Bag, we all know I'm a bit Dior fan so I had to get this one^ I really like that it's in a dark brown colour, it works well with my favourite beige haha! I also found this easy to style in this smart-casual look. I really like the little gold detail on the bag as I could continue this in the rest of the accessories. I already can think of a few other outfit options for this piece, but I'm also excited to see how others style it too, I think it could be an interesting one. And finally are the Metal Tipped Leather Pumps and Sol Le Studio Earrings - I particularly love a toe-capped shoe and the silver is perfect for festive stylings^ The silver also matches well with the earrings and I continued the silver theme in the trousers, these are fab with the shoes. I kept the rest of the look relatively simple and it's an effective way to let the silver really shine in the styling =D

OOTM July | Styled Outfits

Time for July's Outfit of the Month which again brought 2 new windows to the Plaza. Again this month, I'm not really loving these picks and they are very far from the ideas that I have for Summer styling, these are more Autumn and Spring. I've not seen many dolls wearing these pieces so maybe the items aren't as popular as hoped? Or maybe I just missed the window of time where these were being styled? Anyway, I really like the colours in the Flowers Printed Body Long Sleeve Dress but it's something I know I won't wear often. I was tempted to buy the Blumarine Eco Fur Bag however the Blumarine release had a similar one that I preferred, so I purchased that instead. I do quite like the other bag here though, so I bought that - the 1DR Fold Handbag:

I found this bag very easy to style and I really like the overall design of it, it's a versatile piece - having tried it out myself I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen others give it a go. My initial idea was to do a midi skirt with the bag and go for some nice neutral tones but I didn't have a skirt to go with my vision, so that resulted in the first look. I really like this pleated skirt and I think it looks good with the bag, but overall I think the look is perhaps a little dark, it's very formal which wasn't what I was aiming for at all! I do love the second styling though, for the next look I knew I wanted some contrast and black and white worked perfectly for that. This black body has white details so I thought it would make a good base and I'm so so pleased with the final look. The white trousers and blazer are super crisp against the black and I love these boots with the outfit a lot. Overall I think this is a fabulous outfit to show off this bag^

OOTM June | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

June's Outfit Of The Month brought 2 new windows to the Plaza with different stylings to choose from - one of which comes with both male and female versions of some pieces. These styles aren't so much my thing, and do feel a little misplaced and unlike the Summer items I was hoping for, but maybe next month! First up is a feature, FarrahQueenLove styling the Mesh Top - while this piece wasn't for me, I think it's been styled perfectly in this outfit. The gold base has been perfectly mixed with so many other gold pieces, I particularly like the top with the skirt and also the top layered beneath, those sleeves are awesome^ The jewellery additions are also great, never too much gold I say =D

I ended up picking up two pieces from this release, and I ended up using the Oversized Blazer in both of these looks - what a piece! I love this jacket a lot, it's got a great current style along with being a style thats very easy to wear, it works for so many different outfit ideas. In the first styling I went with jeans and I think the piece looks good with them and the light wash makes for a more Summer-based styling. I kept it light with the white additions and I'm really happy with the outcome of this look. But the second look, featuring both the Oversized Blazer and the Serpent Buckle Belt really wins my heart - I love this outfit so much! It's not particularly Summery, but I think it's super stylish and I really don't want to take it off. I was really keen to wear the blazer with a skirt and I love this simple maxi one a lot, it just worked out so nicely with the belt too luckily^ I love the gold of the snake buckle and this made for the perfect way to get more gold in the look which I did with all of the accessories. I just love the combination of everything in this look altogether and I'm definitely excited to style these pieces again =)

OOTM May | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

May's Outfit of the Month brought us 3 new windows of clothes in the Plaza - I love the choice available in the range of colours, styles and pieces. I think it's a very nice mix of options. First up are a couple of features and it was clear that one piece was a winning number among many members. Here is harpie styling both the Oversized Beige Top and Beige Heels and looking fabulous! The beige of the top is well matched to a number of other clothing items and it fits seamlessly with this dress option, the details of both pieces pair so well together. The chunky necklace fills the neckline beautifully and I love the pop of orange in the bag. I also have to point out the beauty look, the hair and makeup are flawless for this styling, I love it =D

Next is mery.- who also wears the Oversized Beige Top but styled in a completely different way - showing off a versatility to the piece that I couldn't imagine! The artsy crop top beneath the focus top of this post looks great, and adds a more casual vibe to the piece, as do the jeans. I also really like the dark shoes and bag chosen, they stand out well and make for really nice points in the outfit to pull the eye too. But favourite accessory of the look is definitely these sunglasses, the colour and style work perfectly with the beige top pairing, so so great!

And now for my own stylings. Firstly are the Black Sequin Pants with the Crystal Drop Earrings - I loved these sparkling trousers at first sight and knew I had to have them, although I think they are much more suited to Autumn/Winter stylings. I really kept the focus on the trousers with simple additions for the rest of the look, I really love this bag with the trousers as it also has a sparkle to it and it's in fitting neutral colours. I'm a big fan of these simple earrings too, they really will look good in a number of stylings. I also picked up the Beige Heels because I think these are a great basic that will work in a number of different outfits. I wanted to make quite a simple look with other beige pieces and loved how these trousers looked, sure they're not simple with the elaborate purple design but they have a beige base which is perfect with the shoes. The shirt is simple but I'm so pleased with the accessories of this matching purple bag and these think dangling earrings, super elegant!

OOTM April | Styled Outfits

In February Stardoll started a new window in the Plaza called Outfit of the Month (OOTM), I guess a bit of a replacement to the monthly Hotbuys. The February and March window looks weren't so much my thing, but from April I did purchase the Margiela Shades and the Jacquemus Furry Bag. I'm still a little tempted by the Blumarine Dress too^ Anyway, sharing two stylings with the Jacquemus Furry Bag today:

This bag is such a sweet Spring/Summer piece and I'm sure I'll be wearing it again this year. I also found it really fun to style and it wasn't too difficult coming up with two completely different looks for it, and in two quite different styles. First up I loved the feel of this floral blouse with the bag, the blue flowers match the colour nicely and I was happy with how the pink looked with the bag too. I also added some blue sandals which balances the blue nicely, this is such a fun look! With the second outfit I went for street-style vibes mixing the smart of the blazer and casual of the trainers, I think it looks good and it was fun to try this on my doll. The blazer isn't quite a perfect colour match for the bag, but I still like the pairing. I kept the rest of the look light with white and these loose trousers. And I really love the accessorising for this look, some of my favourite pieces looking totally different when paired with trainers^
